Nelf Cosmetics Face & Body Illuminator Review

Nelf Cosmetics sent me their newly launched Face & Body Illuminator some time ago. This product has been a new entrant in my vanity kit, as I didn't find it that essential to have one. But now after using it on few occasions, I know what role an illuminator or highlighter plays in creating flawless makeup look.

Product Details:
This smooth, silky powder contains sophisticated shimmer and light-reflecting particles that give skin a luminous, radiant look. You really have to see it to appreciate how insanely beautiful it is! It also provides the color payoff of a loose powder, with the convenience of a pressed powder.

Nelf Face & Body Illuminator comes in a square cardboard box in black & red color theme similar to most of their products. The actual product is packaged in a round plastic container. The transparent container has not-so-fancy black lid and you may find the ingredient list printed on its bottom.

The container has two slots inside, the top of which holds a nice puff applicator placed on it and the lower one holds the product.

This illuminator is in finely-milled, silky smooth powder form. It has sophisticated microfine shimmer liberally spread all over. Since it is my first experience with an illuminator powder, I suspected this to look so shimmery that it might not be practical to use on everyday basis, but would only suit to enhance a party look. Also the shade looked more of whitish tone as I swatched it on my wrist. But going ahead with the proper application on my face specially on cheekbones and bowbones, it added a life to dullness of skin very beautifully.

The powder blends and sets in a jiffy without looking unnaturally sparkly and instantly boosts skin radiance on application. The illuminator powder is a multiuse product to be used smartly to enhance the features you love in your body. Its effect lasts for 4-5 hours as I tried on myself this humid season, which is reasonably good. The only drawback is that there are no other shades launched yet that would surely be required by beauties of different skin tones, but I expect the brand will soon increase the range.

Not only this is a budget friendly facial makeup item (at just Rs 399), but also doubles up as a body highlighter. Simply puff on this powder wherever you want to create a youthful glow. Its versatile and adaptable enough for no special occasion. Specially the women like me who avoid use of obviously noticeable illuminator would love this product. So add this product in your next makeup purchase list.
